7. There are 3 good reasons, and 1 not so good reason, why Canadians use a great deal of energy. What do you think they are?

8. We live in a northern climate with cold temperatures… brrr!
We have a small population spread very thinly over a huge land mass, so…
Our advanced industry uses lots of energy so that we can sell things to other countries.
Energy is cheap in Canada.

10. FOSSIL FUELS Fossil fuels include coal, oil, and natural gas…
They were formed from the remains of plants and animals.
Found in sedimentary (soft) rock.
Can be found around Canada.

11. How is coal formed?

14. Why is coal so important to the Canadian economy?

15. EVERY WEEK TO 10 DAYS, CHINA OPENS A NEW COAL-BURNING POWER PLANT.
China now uses more coal
than the United
States, Europe, and
Japan
combined.

16. How do you make energy from this stuff?

18. NON-RENEWABLE E ENERGY SOURCES
Energy supplies that are limited and cannot be replaced once they are used up.
Oil
Natural Gas
Coal

19. RENEWABLE ENERGY SOURCES
Energy supplies that can be replaced after they are consumed.
Solar Power
Wind Power

20. CONVENTIONAL ENERGY SOURCES
These are the more common energy sources found in Canada.
Flowing water
Fossil fuels
Uranium

21. ALTERNATIVE ENERGY SOURCES
Energy sources that haven’t been around for a long time… they’re ‘newer’ ideas.
Solar, wind, tidal, biomass, geothermal, hydrogen
